FINE COLOGNE WATER
Boil the vinegar with these ingredients for five minutes, and then pour it hot on the pickles. Tie them up carefully. They may be used in a week. The generality of French pickles, are made in a manner similar to those of England and America. Procure at an apothecary's the following oils and have them all put into the same phial: —Oil of lemon, 2 drams ; oil of rosemary, 2 drams ; oil of lavender, 1 dram ; oil of bergamot, 2 drams ; oil of cinnamon, 10 drops ; oil of cloves, 10 drops ; oil of roses, 2 drops ; tincture of musk, 8 drops. Put 2 pint of highly rectified spirits of wine into a bottle, and pour the oils into it. Shake it hard for a few minutes, having corked it tightly. It will be fit for immediate use, but it improves by keeping. If you wish it stronger, double the quantity of all the oils, but have only a pint of spirits of wine.
